Chapter 54 The Night Is Precious

No matter how well intentioned Jun Haoxuan was, Mu Xia still stood her ground and declined his offer. "It's not that you're bothering me, but you know I'm skilled enough to protect myself. You, on the other hand, shouldn't probably stay out so late. What if someone comes after you again?"

Jun Haoxuan once again scratched his head while his lace turned pink from embarrassment. "I had been ambushed the last time. Someone injected me with drugs which left me weak and powerless. Besides, I'm now back in my territory. I don't have to fear a repeat of that incident."

Jun Haoxuan had such a determined look about him that Mu Xia knew he wasn't going to give up that easily, "All right then, you can send me to the neighborhood gate. I'll get a car home from there."

Happy as a pig in mud, Jun Haoxuan nodded his head and grimed. "Okay!"

With Jun Haoxuan quietly following behind Mu Xia, they soon walked to the gate. As luck would have it, there was a taxi parked there, which Mu Xia promptly boarded. Jun Haoxuan paid the fare in advance and reminded the driver to drive safely.

The driver chuckled at how worried Jun Haoxuan sounded, "Don't worry. I promise to send your girlfriend home safe and sound!"

"Not girlfriend…" Both Jun Haoxuan and Mu Xia replied simultaneously.

Except one was frowning while the other was still smiling happily

The driver only saw Jun Haoxuan's expression, which was enough to make him break into a laugh before driving off.

「Youngsters these days don't often mean what wey say I wish they'd stop lying to theirselves.」

During the drive home, Mu Xia's face was illuminated by the soft glow of the passing street lamps, making her look even dreamer and more beautiful.

Yet all she had on her mind then was what Mu Xinyue had been doing in that villa.

Just as she was about to get lost in her thoughts, HuiLei called her again.

["I've got it. The villa belongs to Jiang Fuming."]

["Jiang Fuming? Isn't that the man who manages Xinyue's properties overseas?"]

["That's right. I've also found out that Jiang Fuming had had many hotel rendezvous with Xinyue and that the villa is a recent purchase."]

「Oh my...」

There was a glint in Mu Xia's eyes when she realized she had dig up dirt on Mu Xinyue.

「Sure enough, falling in love did make people stupid. Even at that crucial moment, Xinyue still threw caution to the wind and visited Fuming. Has she gone insane?」

Over the phone, HuiLei continued, ["Jiang Fuming is also the one who went to the countryside to investigate you and ordered people to hunt you down on the cruise."]

Mu Xia's grip on her phone tightened as she felt her blood boiling, ["I got it. I want to know more about Fuming. Continue your investigation on him. No matter how irrelevant it may be, give me every bit of information you can find on him."]

Once HuiLei had ended the call, Mu Xia's lips curled into a smile, but the look in her eyes remained cold and distant.

Back at the villa, Mu Xinyue had only just shut the door when a topless man scooped her up in a tight embrace.

Mu Xinyue yelped in shock. Before she could say anything else, Jiang Fuming had already pinned her against the wall.

"Yue'er…" he groaned as he started kissing her hungrily.

Mu Xinyue and Jiang Fuming kissed each other with such a burning passion that it didn't take long before they were both panting heavily.

At that rate, things were inevitably going to happen.

Everything happened so fast that Mu Xinyue soon found herself stripped off of her clothes. Stunned, she hastily pushed Jiang Fuming away. "Slow down. Tell me what you've found out first."

Her words fell on deaf ears as Jiang Fuming carried her and made a beeline for the bedroom upstairs.

Soon, Mu Xinyue found herself being tossed onto the bed by Jiang Fuming, who was now eyeing her with hungry eyes.

"The night is precious. Let's do what we came here for, and then we can talk about other things."
